Chapter 215 The Prince
Everyone said that he doted on Pei Qingyan. Everyone said that Pei Qingyan was similar to a prince. He was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
But everyone knows that he cut off all ties with the courtiers, declined all the olive branches extended by his party members, and was loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. He was only willing to be the emperor's eagle dog. He was proud when the wind went well, but if something unexpected happened to the emperor, he would be Pei Qingyan was the first person in the civil and military dynasty to perform surgery.
Even the prince can't protect him!
Emperor Duanming knew everything, so he struggled.
On the one hand, I felt sorry for my nephew, who I had raised since childhood, but on the other hand, I felt a sense of pleasure and satisfaction at his loyalty and sincerity.
Because of this, he didn't care about Pei Qingyan's repeated rudeness.
In his opinion, only in this way could Pei Qingyan not be regarded as his minister, but as his nephew.
He did not trust his ministers, only his nephew.
He firmly believed that the eldest princess sister could protect him with her life back then, and now her son should also sacrifice his life for him.
Emperor Duanming took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, since you don't want to, I won't force you."
Pei Qingyan felt relieved and quickly stood up.
The emperor said solemnly: "But I will never allow your Miss Song."
He said, thinking about what Jiang Hua said before, he frowned.
"She has bad character, and she may be able to put on a show in front of you, but she will never pass the test with me, so if you want to marry her as your wife, you'd better give up on it, and she has already been married before. You are still marrying the concubine of the Anyuan Hou family. If you marry her, what will people say when word spreads? That your dignified Pei Qingyan married a woman that Lin Qing does not want? Where do you want me to put my face? Chao There are people in Zhongben who say that I have treated you harshly. If you really marry her, I'm afraid you don't need those people to say it. The eldest princess would be so angry that she would come to poke my spine every night, so I will never agree. You can clear?"
Pei Qingyan subconsciously wanted to refute.
But when he raised his eyes and saw the majestic look in Emperor Ming's eyes, he subconsciously swallowed back the words on his lips.
Now Song Anning doesn't want to be with him, so what's the use of him talking so much?
Pei Qingyan sighed secretly.
He raised his hands and said respectfully: "Yes, Yan'er understands."
Emperor Duanming was satisfied.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back first. If you are injured, take good care of yourself and don't move around."
"Yes."
Emperor Duanming didn't bother to look at his disappointed look and waved his hand, "Go away."
Pei Qingyan then left.
Just after he left.
Prince Lin Xiuxian walked outside Qianqing Palace and happened to see Pei Qingyan leaving.
He was slightly startled and asked the accompanying young eunuch, "Is that Mr. Pei?"
"Yes, I heard that Mr. Pei returned to Beijing a few days ago. Does the Holy One intend to grant a marriage between him and Princess Danyang?"
"Danyang?" The prince laughed, shook his head and said, "Impossible, Pei Qingyan won't like Danyang."
The young eunuch was stunned and curious, "Prince, how do you know..."
"Of course I know."
The prince was a little proud.
He and Pei Qingyan grew up wearing the same pants. How could he not know this kid's personality and preferences?
But the prince didn't say much.
Shaking his head, he entered the palace.
Entering the hall, he had already put away his previous careless expression, and his whole person was dignified and steady, as if he was not a person of his age.
In fact, the prince is also very young, only 23 years old.
But just because he sat in the position of the prince, he was more cautious and thoughtful than others.
After all, the prince is not only the person that many princes want to bring down, but also the person who is most likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
"Father."
The prince respectfully greets the emperor.
Emperor Duanming didn't even look at him, but just threw a booklet over and said, "There is another civil unrest in Youzhou. Didn't you say that the previous civil unrest has been calmed down? What's going on? If you want money or food, I will give it to you. I gave them the troops they asked for, but this is the result they presented to me? It only subsided for half a year, and then the civil unrest broke out again?"
The prince was hit in the face by the fold. The edge of the fold was so hard that it hurt his cheek.
But he didn't dare to say anything. He just picked up the fold and looked at it, and said in panic: "Father, I know clearly that I really don't know about this. Civil unrest may be a natural disaster... Yes, there was a snowstorm in the north last winter. , many people froze to death. Maybe it was because of the snowstorm that they got into chaos, or maybe, maybe it was because of the enemy from the north..."
"Maybe! Everything is possible for you! How did you become the prince!"
Emperor Duanming was angry.
Even the eunuchs standing outside the palace heard the angry roar.
They didn't react at all, as if they were used to hearing it.
As we all know, as long as the prince enters the palace, he will only be scolded in front of the emperor.
If you act too good, you will be jealous and scolded, and if you act too stupid, you will be scolded.
In short, being a prince is a high-risk profession and is not easy to hold.
The prince bowed his head respectfully and did not dare to reply.
Emperor Duanming cursed for a while, but finally relieved himself and said angrily: "Get out! I get upset when I see you."
The prince pursed his lips, his heart tingling slightly.
But he still didn't say anything more, raised his hands, lowered his head and retreated respectfully.
After the prince left, Emperor Duanming leaned on the dragon chair and calmed down.
After a while, he said to Fuquan: "What is King Qi doing?"
Eunuch Fuquan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi heard that Your Majesty has not been sleeping well recently, and is urging the alchemists to refine medicine for His Majesty. He said that this time he must refine a medicine that can solve His Majesty's troubles."
Emperor Duanming's face looked better now, and he smiled faintly, "He doesn't know alchemy, so what he can do to supervise him, in the end, it all depends on Master Yi and his friends."
Seeing that he wanted to get up, Eunuch Fuquan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "Whether you understand it or not, it is still the wish of His Highness King Qi. His Highness also hopes that His Majesty's health will get better as soon as possible. Dragon Body healthy."
Emperor Duanming didn't answer.
In fact, he is not old yet.
After all, he is only 46 years old this year.
He was 30 years old when he ascended the throne, and 16 years have passed now, but he feels that these 16 years have passed very quickly.
And although he is only 46 years old, for some reason, his health is getting worse and worse. Even though he has taken a lot of supplements, he is still like a deflated balloon. No matter how he blows it up, he is still like a deflated balloon. There is constant air leakage on both sides.
Only Yi Shushi's elixirs were somewhat useful.
Thinking like this, Emperor Duanming said: "I remember that there is a century-old snow ginseng in the warehouse. Go take it out and give it to King Qi. Since he wants to make medicine for me, he should have some good medicinal materials in his hand."
"Yes."
Eunuch Fuquan smiled and went immediately.
